ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

This is the second collection from AntiqueMusic.net. Cushla Machree – throb of my heart. Stories of Irish love are as abundant as the number of Irish who emigrated in the 1800s. With them came innumerable stories of love, or grief and feelings of loss for those left behind (as well as an amusing anecdote or two). This collection of songs is a reflection of those feelings and stories. These are songs generally not heard today and are derived from arrangements found on period sheet music from the US Library of Congress website. These pieces were sequenced to MIDI file format, then arranged masterfully by Dan Savin of Savin Sound. Dan and I got our families involved this time - Our daughters have tracks and my wife joins me on :The Cassidy's"Some of the song titles are not the same as those you may recognized of the same title.
